Good day. I'm starting a network consisting of 50 PCs (both wireless and wired solution) through a satellite connection. I need a dedicated firewall which will be able to accomplish the following:
-MAC Filtering for hardlined machines (the wireless router can handle MAC filtering for wireless)
-Badwidth limits per MAC address for a specific time period
-Logs of all traffic
-Log specifically for bandwidth
-Blocking of some P2P processes, but not all (don't allow gaming but do allow skype, etc)
-DHCP
-Normal DoS protection, etc
-VPN is not important to us
Any advice? I'm finding tons of equipment out there, but I'm hoping to spend less than $200. I've seen ZyXEL ZyWALL 2 Plus, which looks good, but I'm not 100% convinced.
Thanks for your help.
